About
-----

[](#about)

- Powerful bootstrap for Phalcon
- Optimizer (neutrino\\optimizer)
    - Framework optimizer. Compile the main code & classes that are frequently used into one single file.
    - Auto-Loader Optimizer. Transalte the composer autoloader, in Phalcon autoloader.
- Middleware
    - Logic
    - Throttle middleware
- Model
    - Lowest resource consumption for model description.
- Auth
    - Manager
    - Throttle login
- Cache Strategy
    - Allow to manage multiple backend cache storage
- Providers
    - Lazy instantiation of all phalcon & neutrino services. Loaded once (for shared), when needed.
- Facades
    - Allows you to use the facade pattern
- Migrations
    - Migrations are like version control for your database. (inspired from [laravel migrations](https://laravel.com/docs/5.5/migrations))
- Console (neutrino\\cli)
- Dotconst (neutrino\\const)
